Christmas Tree was not up today. For those CMs who missed the very fine, dignified, tearful Veteran's Day Flag Retreat Ceremony Tuesday - you all missed a great part of D L history. Flag Retreat was like none other!! The Color Guard was spectacular! The 4, yes 4 D L Security Officers gave pride & honor to D L as they stepped out & made not one mistake during the entire ceremony attended by over 400. Leave it to Security Officer Ernie to prepare events & present perfection! I was so proud of all in D L Security because they honored the Veterans with their hearts & souls. As a side note.... Ernie was told of a Veteran at the ceremony who had been a D L Security Officer years ago. He was so thrilled to meet the gentleman - then he was told this Veteran had been awarded The Purple Heart by Eisenhower. Nothing could have been better!! Pics were taken until they had to be escorted, due to parade, backstage where there was a small party for all Veterans & their families. Can't wait for my CD of the entire ceremony.

O C is as bad firewise as San Diego. Our Santanas create conditions which are more severe than in most of Ca. As for the prices & sq. footage in O C, well, be prepared for way beyond Santa Cruz. O C is no sleepy orange grove bedroom cummunity. The O C beach properties are unbelievable! Good luck suz!

There are some nice homes in Temecula and prices have gone way down. In San Diego, check Alpine. You can get some land there too. That's what we So Californians call a backyard! Haa

We LOVE Ernie, he was so kind and respectful to my FIL who had fought in the Korean War and was part of the "Frozen Chosin", a horrible part of the battle. The ceremony that day moved us all to tears, we'll never forget it.
